Tom Wendt, retired division chief from the Fond du Lac Fire Department, and currently a member of the Van Dyne Fire Department, and president of the Wisconsin State Fire Inspectors Association, recently attended the annual Congressional Fire Service Institute dinner and seminars in Washington D.C.

Along with members of the Wisconsin state fire chiefs, Wisconsin state fire fighters, educators and emergency medical services, joined fire service representatives from across the United States to discuss fire service issues, with US Senators and Representatives.

The Congressional Fire Service Institute (CFSI), formed in 1989 to educate members of Congress about fire and life safety issues, is a bipartisan organization which encourages Republicans and Democrats to work together to improve the readiness of local first responders.

Wendt, along with other fire service representatives from Wisconsin, scheduled meetings on Capital Hill with all Wisconsin state congressional members to discuss national issues, as well as issues directly affecting Wisconsin. The event culminates with a dinner attended by over 2,000 members of the fire service and members of Congress, to jointly recognize their members dedication and valor.

This years theme for the event was "Culti-vating Relationships."
